Schiller, who has spent three decades at the iPhone maker<\/a>, is expected to spend more than 10 hours on the witness stand in federal court in Oakland, California, rebutting Epic's allegations that Apple<\/a> has monopoly over mobile developers<\/a> that it abuses by requiring them to use its in-app payments system and pay commissions.
Over the past two weeks, Epic's executives and expert witnesses argued that Apple has such a strong lock on customers that the world's more than 1 billion iPhone<\/a> owners constitute their own separate market over which Apple exercises strict control. Apple and its experts have framed it differently, arguing that Epic's complaints are related to video game transactions, a market where Apple charges a similar commission to Microsoft Corp<\/a>'s Xbox and Sony Group Corp<\/a>'s Playstion.
But as the trial enters its final week, Schiller is shifting to the second layer of Apple's defense: That the controls it imposes on developers are necessary to make the iPhone more private and secure, which has in turn built consumer trust and expanded the market for mobile apps.
Legal experts say that is important because even if Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers finds that some of Apple's rules have anticompetitive effects, she could rule that those effects are outweighed by benefits to consumers overall.
On the stand on Monday, Schiller testified that the iPhone originally did not come with any third-party apps because Apple executives felt they had no time to create a secure system for third-party developers to write them. But once the phone went on sale, developers soon started \"jailbreaking\" devices to put software on them, and Apple rushed to create a formal system, which later became the App Store, for third-party software.
\"We were very concerned this could create unreliable, unstable devices,\" Schiller said of the jailbreaking phenomenon.

苹果的App Store首席iPhone制造商开始国防史诗游戏审判
苹果(aapl . o:行情)周一开始正式防御反垄断审判带来的“Fortnite”网络游戏创造者史诗般的游戏,通过调用其App Store首席Phil Schiller站。
席勒,他花了三十年iPhone的制造商预计将花费超过10个小时在联邦法院证人席在奥克兰,加利福尼亚州,反驳史诗的指控苹果垄断了移动开发者滥用职权,这要求他们使用其应用内支付系统,支付佣金。
在过去两周,史诗的高管和专家证人认为,苹果公司有一种很强烈的锁定客户,全球超过10亿人iPhone业主构成自己的苹果严格控制的独立的市场。苹果和其专家框架不同,认为史诗的抱怨与视频游戏交易,一个市场,苹果指控一个类似的委员会微软(msft . o:行情)Xbox和索尼集团公司Playstion。
但随着审判进入最后一周,席勒是转向第二层苹果的防御:约定控件开发人员是必要的让iPhone更加私人和安全,进而建立消费者信任和移动应用市场的扩大。
法律专家说,是很重要的,因为即使法官伊冯·冈萨雷斯罗杰斯发现苹果的一些规则反竞争效果,她可以超出了规则,这些影响消费者的整体福利。
周一在证人席上,席勒作证说,iPhone最初没有附带任何第三方应用程序,因为苹果高管认为他们没有时间为第三方开发人员编写创建一个安全的系统。但是一旦手机上市,开发人员很快就开始“越狱”设备,软件,和苹果送往创建一个正式的系统,后来成为应用商店,为第三方软件。
“我们非常担心这可能产生不可靠,不稳定的设备,”席勒说越狱的现象。
